I'm happy to inform you that last week QleeQ was selected as one of the top three companies out of a group of 65 startup applicants and 16 finalists at a Pitch Fest held in cooperation with Blumberg Capital, Israel Startup Network and Shiluvim, the Alumni Club of Tel Aviv University’s Engineering School!

Thursday our vigilant operations guys and users detected a targeted attack against some of our production infrastructure. The attack resulted in an exploit of several servers, and we have proactively shut down a handful of users' centric services to safeguard data and protect the majority of our services.

Our immediate priorities are to prevent further exposure and ensure data integrity. We’ve had all hands on deck working on identifying the exploit vector, eliminating them, and are now focusing on verifying data integrity and restoring the impacted services.

The problem was initially discovered on QleeQ.com servers but our analysis indicates that several other machines were involved, and while we believe we've determined the extent of the attack, we are verifying all of our other services and data.

Once the immediate response to this attack is over, we will be providing a detailed account of the 'back to normal' mode.

It will further enable you to get a much more complex and dynamic results for our queries.

Sometimes you don’t know the Sensetence. You want to inquire ‘how many calories a one-mile run is burning’. You don't know how many calories though, so how can you complete the questions??

Well, now you can, with QleeQ Universe Sense ™ !

The syntax is as follows - wherever you don't know the how to complete of the question, write ?? (anywhere in the sentence, but only once with one space before and after). Pressing the Sense it now button, will show results in the right top panel called QleeQ Universe, along with an extra 5 other results) for you to click (at a descending order). So now you can try it yourself -

What is the brightest star in the sky? You want QleeQ to answer that for you? Either enter QleeQ.com and enter the Sensetence ?? is the brightest star in the sky , or click the below link

Normally writing a sentence in Search engines, will not consider the order of the words, because a search engine uses key words and not a semantic full sentence meaning. QleeQ’s Q! will also include the words Order.

There is much to write and say about QleeQ Order Sensing ™, but I feel that an example will be much clearer –

Which president was better – Bush or Obama – let’s inquire the Internet’s Opinion -

Quality of Results - QleeQ is ever expanding its database (Qdb) and adding more and more sources and Wisdom. That means that there are yet some sentences that we understand. In order to present that to our users, we've added 4 levels of description to our results - QleeQ's Quality results.

Using them with the Mindtence result (the final ranking) will enable you to understand how well this ranking is credible.

Real, Well, Medium and Weak.

if Real is presented, near the final ranking, rest assured the final ranking represents the Real world's opinion about your sentence as described in the Internet.

Going thru Medium, well and weak, you can take it retrospectively and figure it out

1. Right now there are more Mobile devices held by personal people than Personal Computers,

2. The number of smartphones is by-passing the non-smart ones

I believe the number of the above will doubly in the next decade.

The reason is simple, the Internet accessibility by smartphones from almost anywhere is becoming an integral part of our lives.

This also brings the problem closer than ever to us - the overwhelming amount of data and information on the web with a relative slow connection and small screen.

QleeQ is offering now a mobile version atwww.QleeQ.mobi, with reduced functionality. It allows users to surf the web and instantly get an answer or the Internet's common opinion about any issue or subject. E.g.,

1. You are at Barnes & Noble and you'd like to know the indifferent opinion about a book,

2. You are at the cinema and you are wondering which movie is more romantic
